EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pioneer Corps of the British South African Company: An Interview with the Matabele (1890) - Unknown This photograph, titled "The Pioneer Corps of the British South African Company on the way to Mashonaland: An Interview with the Matabele," was published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, in 1890. The image captures a group of men, predominantly white, making their way through an encampment during their expedition to Mashonaland, a region in present-day Zimbabwe. The British South African Company (BSAC), established in 1889, was a chartered company with the aim of promoting British interests in Southern Africa. This pioneer corps, made up of volunteers, was sent to explore and establish settlements in Mashonaland, a region rich in mineral resources, particularly gold and diamonds. The photograph shows the men in various stages of preparation, with some loading supplies onto wagons, while others tend to their horses. In the background, a group of local, indigenous men can be seen observing the scene. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the colonial era, a time of exploration, exploitation, and the beginning of industrialization in Africa. The Matabele, a Ndebele ethnic group, were a significant presence in the region and would soon come into conflict with the BSAC over land and resources. This photograph, taken during a period of intense colonial expansion, encapsulates the complex dynamics of the 'Scramble for Africa,' a competition for territorial claims and resources among European powers. The photograph, from the extensive collection of The Print Collector, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the people, events, and historical context of the late 19th century. This image is a testament to the rich and complex history of Africa during the Victorian era and the profound impact of colonialism on the continent.
